Beautiful Cars
I've been searching for a new car for too long.
The "What will it be" thread is right, they are boring, all of them are.
So, I got tired of looking for something practical and at the right price, and I compiled a list of what I currently think (fleeting thing) are the top ten best looking.
No special order:
BMW 3.0 CSI
Aston Martin DB4/6
BMW 507
Citroen DS
Jaguar E Type
Porsche 911/912
Aston Martin DB9
Ferrari Dino
300 SL
Duesenberg SJ Speedster

Lamborghini's first cars, the 350GT and 400GT, were gorgeous cars.

You may not agree, but mid 60 vette's are awesome IMO.
These aren't too bad either:

I like the first generation Vette, after that they start to loose it for me. The current one's headlights remind me of a Miata.
Love AC's bodywork, and you cant go wrong with Carol's engine work.

Old Thunderbird - used to have one in Orange in the town I grew up in.
Ex brother in law had a 56 corvette - sa-weeeeet looking - then he put nitris in it. There is Nothing like riding in a car that seems like it is only 2 inches from the ground with no shocks at XXX eeeekers mph!!!!
But my still all time fav ... sigh ... be still my beating heart .... (weird freaking color - but that's what they were doing in the early 70's)
I love big muscle engine cars - and still do - and I frequent the car shows and drags. Love them.
Oh yeah - and my first ever car was a pea green Mach I.

It was a spectacular car. I put 360,000 miles on a single set of rings. The turn signal is on the opposite side of the wheel than normal. To this day I find myself reaching for the turn signal on the right side of the wheel.

Going to have to throw an honorable mention to the Lotus Elise, as it is about the only true unapologetic sports car currently on the market.

I don't think the Alfa Romeo Spyder is apologetic either, old or new.

A sweet car we formerly owned. I loved it, but am I glad we sold it before the gas prices shot up! "Behaving" on a good day would get 10mpg!
